I got disappointed by Cook tonight. His ONLY GREAT performance was the first one and it went downhill from there. Archuleta's third performance wasn't all that amazing as well, but his first two was STELLAR.

Gosh. What happened to Cook? I think it had something to do with his voice. Andrew Lloyd Webber said something like it was strained and all. I actually felt it throughout his performance. His voice was subtly cracking, but above all he did okay.

Q: The judges seemed to be on your side Tuesday night. Were you thinking you would win?

A: No. I think both Paula and Randy were appreciative of what we did and all our hard work, and Simon, I'm glad he apologized to Cook, because I don't think anyone realizes how much work we put into this.

Q: What did you learn from David Cook?

A: Cook, he's like my big brother. I've learned so much. I've looked up to him since the beginning of this, and he's just such a great guy, really humble and down-to-earth. I just feel like, "I can't believe I'm standing next to him!"

Did you vote last night?I did not, but I voted three times this season and each one was for Archuleta.
